Forms :: Find And Update A Record Using Multiple Criteria
May 30, 2015
I Have a forms which brings up a record in textboxes when you hit a search Button using a value that you type into a Textbox called BarTxt. My problem is that this value may not be unique. Therefore I'm trying to find and update the table using 2 values from the table (Barcode and PurchaseOrder).I have entered the code
Code:
Private Sub SearchBtn_Click()
PNTxt = DLookup("PartNumber", "BookInTable", "BarCode ='" & [BarTxt] & "'" And "PurchaseOrder ='" & [POTxt] & "'")
End Sub
This however is just bringing up a Type mismatch error. Even though both are text fields.Also even if I just use Barcode to search which works. My update Code
Code:
DoCmd.RunSQL "Update BookInTable SET DateBookedOut = '" & Me!DateTxt & "' WHERE BarCode ='" & [BarTxt] & "'" AND PurchaseOrder ='" & [POTxt] &
I get an Compile error saying "expected expression".
I have a list of client stored in a table "Clients". I would like a form to present a user with the next client in the list at the click of a button, but there will be some exceptions:
Some clients will be given priority, and should be moved to the top of the list although they may not be the next logical entry in the table. Priority clients are indicated by a field "Priority" with a Yes/No option set before work begins.
Some clients will have requested a call at a certain time of the day - This time will be stored in a field named timeToCall. The next user to click the button after the time has passed should be given that clients details.
When the end of the list is reached any clients who could not be contacted will be tried again. My table currently has a field "Attempts" to track this, but that may not be needed. Clients who have been dealt with will be removed from the "Clients" table to a "Completed" table.
Whichever record is selected will be flagged as being dealt with so that 2 people don't get the same entry. I may add a new field for this, but right now I plan to use the "attempts" field to control this
I am unsure of the best approach to the above, I'm not very well-versed in Access, but if I were doing this in Excel (as originally requested by my boss) I would do it like this:
Use a form where the "Next" button will use VBA code to first check if there are any priority clients, then check if there are any timed client's ready to call and then move to the next entry that has had 0 contact attempts. Whichever record is the next one will be displayed in the form to the user.
My database has a street address field that I would like find and replace a handful of certain strings with other strings. For example I would like to see:
Sunset Point = Sunset Pt Main = Main Prospect = Prospect Caminito Paseo = Camto Paseo Camino Litoral = Cam Litoral
I would like to perform something exactly like Find and Replace but to multiple strings in ONE function or query to update.
Is this possible? I looked at fReplace() but not sure where to put this.
I'm building a database with supplier information. Some users prefer to use the supplier names, but it is sometimes hard know how foreign suppliers are spelled, therefore some users prefer to use supplier numbers.
I want my form to show all supplier data based on either the supplier number or the supplier name, which can both be chosen from 2 comboboxes.
In addition, and here's the catch, I would also like the two comboboxes to update eachother. So if I choose supplier 2 in the first box, the other box should automatically show me the name of vendor 2 and vice versa.
I am creating a form that has a bunch of yes/no box for daily task. Is there a way for access to record which user selects yes/no.
For example
yes/no box1 - user 1 completed this task yes/no box2 - user 2 completed this task and so on
So when i look back i can see which user complete which task. I did a bit of research and saw that i can save a user that update a record. But since this is a daily task, each new record will be a new day.
Using sql or access query I would like to create an expression that aggregates the first field and I would like to see all records grouped by the relationship with another field. Let me show an example.
My query shows:
field1 field2 apple a apple b banana a carrot a carrot b dog b elephant b
I would like my query to now display a third field and group field :
field1 field3 apple both banana a carrot both dog b elephant b
I have a combo box at the top of a form which is used to find records. When new records are added using the form, they do not show up in the combo box until the form has been closed and reopened.
Can anyone tell me how I can requery the combo box to ensure that it does list newly entered records?
Code: Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Set db = CurrentDb Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("Complaint", dbOpenDynaset)
[Code] ....
I find the record, and then try to update a field. The drop down menu field gets updated after it is initially changed from blank to a value, but it never changes after that though the re!C02 field has the correct newer data when I change it again.
As my screen name implies, I am a new to Access and I’m seeking some input to resolve an issue. I have tried numerous queries, read MSDN forums and Access help w/o success. I hope someone would have some ideas.
See ATTACHMENT for screen shot of the following scenario:
Two tables in a one-to-many relationship. The parent table (tblAdmByWard) contains the autonumber primary key (PatientID) and additional fields that will not change while the child table (tblContStayEval) has a corresponding field (i.e. PatientID) to secure referential integrity PLUS additional fields as shown that are evaluated and updated daily. During the update the current date is entered (DateOfReview) along with additional info thus creating a new daily record in the child table.
I would like to query the child table (tblContStayEval) to find and return ONLY the first occurrence (DateOfReview) that the criteria (Variance) was selected…i.e.2/24/2008 as illustrated in the screen shot. This needs to occur for all (PatientID) records but exclude any subsequent and/or similar selections. By “similar” I mean the date will be different for each record in the child table while the data in the other associated fields may or may not be.
I hope I explained this okay as I’m not sure how to go about this. Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated.
Was wondering if there is a way without building individual update queries, to update info in one field that has multiple criteria ?
Basically I need to change/update daily multiple ID numbers to new ID numbers, long story on why this needs to be done but for now I need to do it this way.
Example: 12345 update to ABCDE, 6789 update to FGHI, etc. These ID's are all within the same field in the table.
It works fine running each ID one at a time but was wondering if it is possible to do all these updates within one query or code ?
I currently have a form to manage inventory. On the left side of the form, I have a list box that shows all of the items in the database and finds the record on the form based on the selection.
I would like to have toggle boxes or something underneath the list box that when clicked will sort the box by vendor and item and another that when clicked will sort the list by part number and then select the record on the form based on the selection at that time.
I have no idea how to accomplish this...can anyone help?
I need to update the periodtype field in my table depending on different values in the field Formtype- I am looking to do this without having to use VBA. I have the following fields in a table - I want to update the value of the field Period_type as follows -
When Formtype is 10-Q, update Periodtype to "Quarterly"
When Formtype is 10-K, update Periodtype to "Annual"
The current value of Periodtype for both formtypes is "Semiannual"
I have a table called Attendance were information about the Student and the class they are attending is collected.
Another table called Student, this hold information about the student. I am using a Form called Attendance to input my information. What I am trying to achieve is:
BeforeUpdate on a text box:
When you input Student_ID it looks at the Student Table to see if the Student ID is valid before the information is updated to the Attendance Table.
I want to create a form that allows users to update multiple fields for multiple assets. Below is what I came up with:
Ideally, I'd like the subform to be filled in by having the user select multiple Assets from the S/N combobox field which would then auto-populate the "Type" field. Then they would fill out the appropriate fields they want edited in the top part of the form. They hit save and magic happens. This would also be nice because only assets they want edited would be displayed (easier on the eyes) and no distinguishing would be necessary. To do it this way, I know I would need to use a temp table but I wanna avoid using temp tables.
I know I can do this by adding a Yes/No field in the "Asset" table, setting the "Asset" table as the subform's recordsource, and then putting a checkbox in the subform and allowing them to check the assets that they want to edit (which would also allow me to sort it instantly so that checked Assets are at the top of the datasheet for easy viewing), but I would like to know if there's a way of accomplishing this without the use of checkboxes.
I know I could also use a listbox and that allows them to multi-select items, but I'm not sure if that allows me to group all selected items at the top of the listbox for easy viewing of selected items. Plus it would involve a lot of scrolling (there are over 2k assets).
I have a form where a user enters data. One of the things the user enters is a "lot size". I need this lot size field to be checked against a query in the database to determine if the quantity is acceptable or not.
The order number in this query is in certain cases missing a leading zero, so I need to truncate this from the user entered form field.Finally I want the user to be notified if they are trying to exceed the lot size in the query.My code is as follows:
Code: Public Function RemoveFirstChar(RemFstChar As String) As String Dim TempString As String TempString = RemFstChar If Left(RemFstChar, 1) = "0" Then If Len(RemFstChar) > 1 Then TempString = Right(RemFstChar, Len(RemFstChar) - 1) End If End If
I have a query thats outputs my costs on a project divided into 50 categories. Additionally, each project can be divided into 3 stages, each with the same 50 cost categories. I have been using a query that prompts the user which stage they would like to look at, and it works great.
However, it would be useful to be able to see all stages at once, next to one another.
So, essentially, i want to be able to input the stage parameter in the criteria box for three fields in the query, so instead of showing the costs for one stage at a time, it will show all three(and a summation across all stages), without a prompt.
It works when i set the one field manually to the first stage, but when i add additional fields, it returns a blank query.
I have a table that contains readings from several pieces of equipment as well as the status of each one. Each record has a timestamp, equipment number, status, etc. What I want is to create a query that will return the latest record for each equipment number. Simplified example table:
There are more than 20 different Equipment numbers and they are read several times per day and sometimes some of them get missed. What I'm looking for is a way to get a list of all the machines with their latest reading so they can tell which machines are running and which are down based on the last time they were read (instead of specifying a date). I can get this for one machine with no problem. I'm having trouble getting it for more than one machine. I tried a union query (with just 2 of the machines included for testing) but it only returns the results from one machine:
Code:
SELECT TOP 1 TestCompressorRoundQuery.LoggedAt, TestCompressorRoundQuery.AssetNumber, TestCompressorRoundQuery.CompressorID, TestCompressorRoundQuery.Status, TestCompressorRoundQuery.CompressorIntegrity, TestCompressorRoundQuery.Notes FROM TestCompressorRoundQuery WHERE (((TestCompressorRoundQuery.AssetNumber)="104399")) UNION ALL
[Code] ....
I'd rather not have to create a seperate query for each machine and then join all of those together! I think perhaps a Union query might not be the correct approach. All the data is coming from only one table.
On a from ("Customers") with tabs I have on the second tab a subform ("Orders") as a single form with a field "Ordernumber". "Customers" and "Orders" are linked through "CustomerID".
On the mainform I have a "searchfield" in which a enter the Ordernumber, I want to find.I cannot manage it, that After_Update of the "searchfield" the ordernumber is found on the subform and the focus is on that subform.The focus only shows me the CustomerID on the first tab, but does not jump to the second tab exactly to thes searched ordernumber.
Code:
Private Sub searchfield_AfterUpdate() Dim rs As Recordset Me.CustomerID.SetFocus Set rs = Me.Orders.Form.RecordsetClone rs.FindFirst "ordernumber = " & Me.searchfield If Not rs.EOF Then Me.Orders.Form.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark End Sub
Basically I want to type the ID(key) of a record table in a unbound text box and then by pressing a command button to be able to bring up that record (in form view). I do not want to use a combo-box.
So what do i write as VB code in the Private Sub mybutton_Click()
Table name is [ACTION_ID], ID field name is [ACT_ID] & text box name is [TEXT_BOX]
I have a main form (unbound) and a main form (bound) and then a subform (or a main form;subform;subform).The main form has the following SQL;-
SELECT Detail.*, Hazards.*, HowHarmed.*, Section.* FROM PSR RIGHT JOIN (Hazards INNER JOIN ([Section] INNER JOIN (HowHarmed INNER JOIN Detail ON HowHarmed.ID = Detail.HowHarmedID) ON Section.ID = Detail.[Subject Area]) ON Hazards.ID = Section.detailID) ON PSR.ID = Detail.PSR;
This form appears to work fine. Essentially, there is a control on the unbound form whereby the user selects the section and it populates the respective form with the various 'detail' of the various records.My tables are as follows;-
Risk Assessments Detail Section HowHarmed Hazards PSR PLR Staff
In the subform there are records from Riskassessments, which is the table in the source property of this subform (and not on the main form) with a link to PSR of which is on the mainform. Again, these appear to work if the record is entered via the tables - all the tables appear to be linked correctly from their respective dropdowns (+ sign) but when I go to add a new record in this subform, I get the error "The link masterfields property has produced this error: 'The object doesn't contain the automation object ID'." When I try to update from this entry the following message is presented;-"The ms Office access database engine cannot find a record in the table 'Detail' with key matching field(s) 'DetailID'.
The SQL for this subform is as follows;-
SELECT Detail.*, PLR.*, RiskAssessments.* FROM (Detail INNER JOIN RiskAssessments ON Detail.ID = RiskAssessments.DetailID) LEFT JOIN PLR ON RiskAssessments.PLR = PLR.ID;
I have a sub form that shows me a companies history. This subform is used on 2 different Parent forms. The record source for the sub form uses a criteria that looks at a companyID field on the parent to determine which records to return. My question is how do I have the query criteria depend on which form is currently opened? The criteria would look something like this:
[Forms]![frmCompanyHistory]![txtCompanyID] OR [Forms]![frmCompany_Project_Details]![txtCompanyID]
If I open the form with this criteria, I will be asked for a value in txtcompanyID for whatever parent form is not open. How do I properly do this without making multiple queries that are almost identical?
